glamming up an every day look

so when it’s raining, like it is today, just about the last thing i feel motivated to do is look cute. the absolute last thing i want to do is dry my hair.

but there’s something about a button down and sweater that just makes me feel like a boy. to glam up a basic look, i add a cute pair of flats, a statement necklace, and skinnies (to make sure i actually look like a girl. if skinnies don’t work for your body type, any other pair of jeans that you feel amazing in will work perfectly). oh and a ballet bun and lots of eyeliner and mascara.

get the look!

glam up a boy inspired look

sometimes design can be overwhelming. but if you take an inspirational photo and break it down piece by piece it’s definitely attainable, and often at a much lower cost than the magazines and online rags we all drool over.

i stumbled upon this photo by photographer virginia macdonald featured on desire to inspire yesterday and fell in love immediately. i love the layered look, plus it’s light and airy and a little sassy with that punch of leopard print. at the end of the day though, you can break this overall vibe down into 5 essential pieces and then layer on top of that with light and airy pieces of art (and a good dose of white paint).
